Notes
Well, that didn't go too well. With the extreme temps today (96 w/ heat index 115 midday), I figured I needed to hold off as long as possible (provided I didn't want another treadmill run) seeing as the only reprieve you get around here is the bit when the sun goes down. BUT, not so much a fan of the 9-9:30 dinners when I sleep at 10, so figured I'd try eating beforehand. Unfortunately didn't have anything made, so I had to cook and ended up eating later than I meant to. Ultimately, still plenty hot and dinner sat like a rock in the stomach... that's tonight's sob story.
The bigger sob story is how best to handle higher miles in this weather. I would have to start my main run before 4:30am if I chose the morning route (plus be tired at work), or just put up with these crazy conditions in the evening and continue with this wonky eat/sleep schedule. OR, fluid like crazy (already hydrate very well, though), and just keep a easy easy pace at an earlier time (body adapts?). Maybe if I try today's strategy again, but eat RIGHT AWAY (~5:30) and run two hours later instead of one... it's possible. But then am I losing much from not having a main meal after running? Oy.
Just think-typing out loud, don't mind me.
Also I'm not worried about EVERY day, just the crazy ones like today. Others I can manage.
